The best way to make tea

Review by Hill Racer

There really is no better way to make tea! It's easy to use and clean, but you must wash the filter soon after tea is made. You can be surprisingly frugal with the amount of leaf tea you use so experiment with quantity and time of brewing. I already had one but broke the jug when I caught the big mixer tap. The jug is a nice kitchen accessory that you will use a lot.

I am new to fine tea and the methods of steeping, I had been trying with several types of teapot. When I saw this Tea Infuser , I could see that it did it all, and it does. It looks good, it allows you to control the steeping time, because you empty the steeping chamber to the last drop it stops the tea from steeping to long. The 1000ml size makes enough in one brew for a fair size mug, as there is two of us I make two infusions and the jug then acts as a fair share jug so first and second brews are mixed. The lid acts as a base for the infusion chamber or a cover whilst infusing it is not ment as a lid whilst pouring. The infuser is well made and even though it is being used several times a day I expect it to last some time. Well recomended.

Perfect Morning Pot

Review by Rachel

I received the 500ml pot for my birthday and love it. It is perfect for leisurely weekend afternoons when I want to brew multiple infusions at just the specified temperature and amounts on the Canton packages. But on hectic weekday mornings, I needed something akin to my 1000ml coffee French Press, so that one efficient trip to the kitchen would give me two good mugfulls of not-over-brewed tea. This is the ideal pot for that and I now drink tea rather than coffee most mornings. As I type at 4.30 a.m. at the start of another workday, I am enjoying a lovely mug of Arya Ruby First Flush Darjeeling from my trusty, simple Piao i to set me up for the day.

wonder to behold

nice piece of tea brewing equipment here ;). I love the way that the tea is taken from the leaves allowing for more, flavour laden infusions whilst keeping the brew from over infusion. I've used this so many times and it's standing the punishment that infusion and hand washing puts on it.The plastic is beginning to colour, but flavour leaching doesn't seem to happen. I'll write another review in a few months time to see how durable the infuser is.

Handy, ingenious

Best way I've found to brew leaf tea and not over-brew it. But the 250ml maximum size of the strainer is only just two mugs.

Nicely constructed little gizmo that gives you a perfectly brewed tea every time. Im not sure how easy it is going to be to clean, the instructions were not very detailed when it comes to taking it apart and cleaning it.

Apart from the cleaning issue this is a very clever, simple, effective infuser.

Extremely practical.

A very ingenious, functional device. The glass jug takes a few knocks and feels strong not fragile. Does what it is supposed to do - very well. Actually makes brewing loose tea for a big consumer very easy. Only reason 4 star not 5 is because not the most elegant looking thing.

NB The glass jug has a 1000ml capacity, however the inner infusion chamber holds approx 350ml.
Put through several infusions of loose leaf tea if you want to fill the jug.
